SUTTER'S    FORT,    SACRAMENTO,   CALIFORNIA 


[From  a  sketch  made  by  the  Right  Venerable  Grand  Secretary,  Edwin  A.  Sherman,  on  his  first 
visit  to  it  on  June  2,  1849.] 

Here  was  located  in  the  fall  of  1849  tne  first  Masonic  and  Odd  Fellows  Joint  Relief  Hospital 
in  California,  and  placed  in  charge  of  those  noble  Pioneer  Brethren,  Doctors  John  F.  Morse  and 
J.  D.  B.  Stillman,  whose  personal  sacrifices  have  long  since  been  rewarded  in  the  "Celestial 
Grand  Lodge  above  where  the  Supreme  Grand  Master  forever  presides."  Here  came  the  first 
authenticated  Mason  to  cross  the  Sierra  Nevada,  Bro.  James  Frazier  Reed,  for  relief  of  the 
"Donner  Party"  and  of  his  own  family  perishing  of  starvation,  but  where  he  and  all  of  his 
family  were  united  after  the  living  had  been  rescued.  Here  the  noble  band  of  Brethren  of 
Sacramento  assessed  themselves  in  the  sum  of  over  forty  thousand  dollars  in  1849 and  1850  alone, 
to  assist  the  sick,  the  suffering  and  the  dying,  and  when  the  cholera  was  sweeping  the  Sacra- 
mento and  San  Joaquiu  Valleys  and  our  Brethren  were  perishing  by  that  scourge  which  smote 
mankind  with  the  curse  of  death  and  they  repeated  the  cry  of  distress  continually,  "Is  there  no 
balm  in  Gilead?  Is  there  no  physician  there?"  and  receive  the  joyful  answer,  "Weep  not,  behold 
the  Lion  of  the  Tribe  of  Judah  hath  prevailed,"  and  "Brotherly  Love,  Relief  and  Truth"  of 
Masonry  proved  the  strength  of  the  "Mystic  Tie." 

Oh,  "those  days  of  old,  those  days  of  gold,  those  days  of  forty-nine," 
The  brightest  of  all,  that  we  recall,  when  Masonry  did  shine. 
Oh  grand  old  Fort,  where  sweet  Charity  held  Court, 
Though  walled  in  adobe,  yet  she  did  enrobe  thee 
In  the  sheen  of  her  glory,  the  mantle  of  the  Craft.

THE  CROWN  OF  OUR  GLORY  AND  PRIDE  OF  THE  CRAFT, 

AT  DECOTO,  ALAMEDA  COUNTY,  CALIFORNIA. 

Corner  Stone  laid  by  the  M.  W.  Grand  Lodge  of  F.  and  A.  M.  of  California  on  Oct.  14,  1896,  by 
M.  W.  Edward  Myers  Preston,  Grand  Master,  who  labored  seven  long  years  as  Chairman 
of  the  Committee  and  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  to  attain  this  noble  object. 

It  was  dedicated  by  the  M.  W.  Grand  Lodge  of  F.  and  A.  M.  of  California  on  Oct.  12,  1898, 
by  M.  W.  Thomas  Flint,  Jr.,  M.  W.  Grand  Master.  Its  Corner  Stone  a  Pressed  Stone  and  its 
Cap  Stone  a  Flint,  in  commencing  and  completing  this  noble  monument  and  landmark  of  Cali. 
fornia  Masons'  charity.  As  it  was  in  the  beginning  so  it  was  in  the  dedication,  that  W.  Bro.  Jacob 
Voorsanger,  as  Grand  Orator,  charmed  and  delighted  the  hearts  of  all  the  thousands  of  the  Craft, 
there  assembled,  their  wives,  daughters  and  sisters  with  his  wonderful  eloquence,  and  the 
hundreds  of  Masonic  Veterans  that  were  there  present  rejoiced  in  the  realization  of  their  efforts 
for  nearly  fifty  long  years  of  faith  and  hope.  The  Master  Mason's  trowel  was  plated  with  gold. 
The  Keystone  of  the  Arch  blazed  forth  with  "I  am  that  I  am,"  like  the  search-light  of  the  sun  in 
a  clear  day,  while  the  Cross  of  Calvary  of  the  Templars  became  a  telegraph  pole  radiant  with 
electric  fire,  and  the  Double  Headed  Eagle  singing  and  proclaiming  Charity's  watchwords, 
Deus  Meumque  Jus — God  and  my  right. 

At  the  laying  of  the  Corner  Stone  Alameda  Lodge  No.  167,  F.  and  A.  M.,  with  W.  Bro. 
Edwin  Whipple  as  Master,  acted  the  part  of  host  as  when  David  brought  up  the  Ark  of  the  House 
of  the  Lord  into  the  City  of  David,  "And  he  dealt  among  all  the  people,  even  among  the  whole 
multitude  of  Israel  as  well  to  the  women  as  men,  to  every  one  a  cake  of  bread  and  a  good  piece 
of  flesh  and  a  flagon  of  wine."  In  this  case  coffee  was  substituted  for  the  wine.  Four  P's  have 
supplied  the  Home  with  another  P.,  for  the  five  points,  Preston,  Pierce,  Patton,  Peabody  and 
Plenty.  But  it  was  found  necessary  to  have  some  Aikins  there  in  order  to  administer  relief  as 
circumstances  may  require.

words,  "Remember  the  days  of  old;  consider  the  years  of  many  generations,  ask  thy  fathers  and  they  will  show 
thee,  thy  elders,  and  they  will  teach  thee  "  On  the  reverse  is  the  title,  and  the  States  and  Countries  of  its  juris-

his  dexter  claw  a  silver  compass,  and  in  the  left  a  silver  square.

the  R.  V.  Grand  Secretary,  as  her  contribution.  It  cost  about  $300.00  and  the  money  was  contributed  by  the 
members  throughout  its  broad  jurisdiction. 

It  was  duly  consecrated  with  imposing  ceremonies  in  California  Lodge  No  i,  F.  and  A.  M.,  in  the  Masonic

It  was  taken  by  the  R.  V.  Grand  Secretary,  who  was  accompanied  by  W.  Bro.  Joseph  Hull,  to  Dayton,  Oiegon 
and  there,  under  it,  in  the  home  of  W. Bro.  Geo.  K  Detmering,  the  Master  of  Lafayette  Ledge  No.  3.  on  Sept.  9, 1891

fore at  Oregon  City  and  during  all  that  time  they  had  never  met  each  other. 

The  Banner  was  next  displayed  in  the  Hall  of  Lafayette  Lodge  No.  3,  at  Lafayette,  Oregon,  and  in  Multnomah 
Lodge  No.  i,  at  Oregon  City,  on  the  Forty-third  Anniversary  of  its  Organization,  Sept.  ir,  1891,  when  there  was  a 
very  large  attendance.  There  were  present  Bro.  Joseph  Hull,  its  first  Master;  Bro.  Wm.  B.  Daugherty,  its  first 
Senior  Warden;  Bro.  Peter  G.  Stewart,  its  first  Senior  Deacon;  and  Bro.  Joseph  Kellogg,  who  with  his  father, 
Orrin  Kellogg,  had  brought  the  Charter  of  that  Lodge  from  Missouri  across  the  plains  in  1848.  Bro.  Joseph 
Xellogg  is  still  alive. 

The  Banner  was  next  displayed  in  Harmony  Lodge  No.  12,  at  Portland,  in  the  presence  of  a  large  number  of 
Grand  Lodge  Officers  and  Brethren  who  gave  a  cordial  welcome  to  the  Banner  Party.  It  was  then  taken  to  Temple 
Lodge  No.  7,  at  Astoria,  at  the  mouth  of  the  Columbia  River,  and  warmly  greeted 

After  its  return  to  California  it  was  taken  to  Denver,  Colorado,  and  displayed  in  the  Temple  during  the 
Triennial  Conclave  of  Knights  Templar  and  when  the  Masonic  Veteran  Association  of  the  United  States  was  in 
session  when  the  Right  Venerable  Grand  Secretary  thereof  was  elected  National  President  under  the  Constitution 
which  he  had  drafted,  by  direction  of  that  body  when  first  convened  at  Washington  City.  D.  C.,  in  October,  1889,  of 
which  he  was  one  of  the  founders  at  that  time  and  elected  Vice-President  for  the  Pacific  Coast  Division. 

It  has  been  displayed  in  public  processions  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  California,  at  the  laying  of  corner  stones 
and  dedication  of  the  Masonic  Home  at  Decoto.  Alameda  County,  California. 

The  office  of  Grand  Standard  Bearer  will  always  be  filled  by  a  member  of  Multnomah  Lodge  No.  i,  at  Oregon 
City,  Oregon,  where  the  first  altar  and  fires  of  Masonry  were  erected  and  set  aglow  upon  the  Pacific  Coast  and 
which  will  never  cease  to  spread  their  light  as  long  as  the  fiery  orb  of  day  shall  burn  in  the  heavens  which  shines 
for  all,  upon  land  or  sea,  and  from  which  the  skilful  navigator  shall  ever  take  his  observations  of  it  while  persu- 
ing  the  trackless  paths  of  the  rolling  seas.

quarter  of  a  century  on  the  Pacific  Coast.  A  trusted  and 
faithful  employee  of  the  S.  P.  R.  R.  Co.  during  all  that 
period. 


W.  GEORGE  EDWIN  KENNEDY,  32° 

P.  M.  of  Mosaic  Lodge  No.  218,  Livermore,  Cal.  Right 
Venerable  Second  Grand  Steward,  1896,  7,  8,  9,  1900,  i. 
He  celebrated  the  Centennial  Anniversary  of  American 
Independence  July  4,  1876,  by  arriving  in  California  by 
railroad  on  that  day,  and  by  the  stimulating  aid  of  Cali- 
fornia Climate  added  thereto,  he  is  fully  charged  with 
the  spirit  of  1776.  As  a  Mason,  he  has  no  superior;  as  a 
public  spirited  citizen  and  faithful  public  officer,  he  is  a 
model  for  all  others.  Loved  by  his  brethren  and  neigh- 
bors for  he  has  carried  joy  into  happy  homes.  At  any 
rate,  we  have  Bro.  Nat  B.  Holmes'  word  for  it,  and  that 
is  as  good  as  a  draft  upon  any  bank.

Warden 

California,  his  work  and  service  has  been,  and  still  s, 
of  the  highest  standard,  and  he  should  a  quarter  of  a 
century  ago  have  passed  up  and  occupied  the  Grand  Ori- 
ental Chair.  But  he  can  console  himself  with  the 
thought  that  even  Hiram,  the  Master  Builder  himself, 
did  not  get  there.  Perhaps  he  may  yet  attain  to  that 
high  honor,  and  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  he  will.

conscientious  officer  at  all  times,  and  capable  of  reliev- 
ing St.  Peter  as  Celestial  Grand  Tyler,  and  perhaps  with 
a  closer  scrutiny  over  visitors  than  he,  for  he  never 
denied  his  Master.  May  it  be  long  before  Bro.  Clark

BRIEF  HISTORY 

OF  THE 

Illasonic  Ueteran  Association  of  the  Pacific  Coast 

PREPARED   BY 

EDWIN  ALLEN  SHERMAN,  33°,  Right  Venerable 
Grand  Secretary. 


In  the  month  of  May,  1872,  while  on  a  visit  to  the  Atlantic 
States  and  sojourning  for  a  few  days  in  the  City  of  New  York, 
we  there  met  with  several  distinguished  Masonic  brethren, — 

SICKLES,  McCl^ENACHAN,    TlSDALE,    MACOY,  MORIARTY,  and 

others, — who  had  recently,  on  January  25,  1872,  organized  the 
Masonic  Veterans  of  the  City  of  New  York,  and  were  exhibiting 
the  badge  or  button  of  their  society,  which  had  just  been  made 
by  the  jeweler  and  with  which  they  were  highly  pleased.  We 
inquired  what  th£  society  was,  what  were  its  objects,  the 
qualifications  of  membership,  and  all  that  could  be  learned 
about  it,  as  it  was  the  first  time  that  we  had  heard  the  term 
"veterans"  as  applied  to  a  Masonic  organization.  We  learned 
that  the  qualifications  were  of  being  a  Master  Mason  of  twenty- 
one  years,  in  good  standing  at  the  time  of  making  application, 
and  its  objects  were  sociability  and  the  cultivation  of  acquaint- 
ance, with  smoking  the  pipe  of  fraternity  as  incense  to  the 
presiding  deity  of  good  fellowship,  and  once  a  year  to  have  a 
grand  reunion  and  a  banquet  with  all  "ye  olden  times"  ingre- 
dients, and  incidentally  to  gather  historical  and  biographical 
matter,  but  in  the  main  to  have  a  good  time. 

The  idea  struck  us  at  once,  that  it  would  be  a  wise  thing  to 
organize  a  Masonic  Veteran  Association  for  the  Pacific  Coast, 
on  a  broader  scale,  more  beneficial  and  more  useful  to  the 
Craft  in  general,  than  having  an  organization  of  what  would 
eventually  become  merely  an  old  men's  fraternal  and  social 


4  BRIEF  HISTORY  OF  THE 

club;  and  the  more  we  thought  of  it,  the  more  we  were  con- 
vinced, not  only  of  the  practicability,  but  that  it  was  a  duty 
devolving  upon  every  pioneer  Mason  to  unite  and  assist  in  the 
organizing  and  maintaining  of  a  historical,  biographical,  and 
fraternal  organization  within  the  bosom  of  the  Craft  upon  the 
Pacific  Coast,  which  had  a  grander  field  for  its  work  than  any 
to  be  found  east  of  the  Rocky  Mountains;  for  the  pioneers  of 
Masonry  and  founders  of  new  States  and  Territories  were  still 
living,  well  known  to  each  other,  and  with  a  living  history 
totally  different  and  unknown  to  those  of  the  older  States  of 
the  Union,  whose  fathers,  grandfathers,  and  great-grandfathers, 
whose  experiences  were  somewhat  similar  to  our  own,  had 
passed  awa}r  long  before  the  present  generation  was  born. 

We  returned  to  California  and  Nevada,  and  to  California 
again,  and  our  public  and  private  duties  having  demanded  our 
time  and  attention,  we  were  unable  for  several  years  to  under- 
take the  contemplated  movement  for  an  organization  of  the 
desired  character.  No  one  else  had  in  the  meantime  attempted 
anything  towards  such  an  object,  and  fully  six  years  had 
elapsed,  and  no  effort  had  been  made.  Having  arrived  in 
California  on  May  24,  1849,  and  belonging  to  various  societies 
of  California  pioneers,  and  knowing  nearly  everybody  who 
were  Masons  from  those  earliest  times,  many  passing  away,  we 
thought  that  the  time  had  come  for  an  organization,  to  secure 
the  records  of  those  living  before  it  should  be  too  late;  also  for 
the  lack  of  veneration  and  regard  on  the  part  of  the  younger 
generation  towards  their  elder  Brethren,  it  became  necessary 
to  unite,  to  command,  and  if  need  be,  enforce  respect  from  the 
thoughtless  and  heedless,  and  to  teach  them  that  the  silver 
crown  of  an  old  and  true  Brother  is  of  greater  honor  than  the 
downy  mustache  of  a  caput  elephanlum  whose  beard  has  yet  to 
grow,  and  who  has  to  learn  the  admonition  of  Moses,  the  leader 
and  lawgiver  of  Israel:  "Remember  the  days  of  old;  consider 
the  years  of  many  generations;  ask  thy  fathers,  and  they  will 
show  thee;  thy  elders,  and  they  will  teach  thee."  • 

FIRST    MEETING   AND   TEMPORARY   ORGAN- 
IZATION. 

During  the  month  of  November,  1878,  the  subject  of  form- 
ing this  Association  was  first  mentioned  by  the  Right  Ven. 


MASONIC  VETERAN  ASSOCIATION  OF  THE  PACIFIC  COAST.  5 

Grand  Secretary,  Edwin.  A.  Sherman,  to  Brother  Columbus  Wa- 
terhouse,  the  Worshipful  Master  of  Mission  Lodge  F.  &  A.  M., 
No.  169,  of  San  Francisco,  who  heartily  concurred  in  the 
proposed  project.  Soon  after  Brothers  Samuel  Swift  and 
David  W.  Laird  were  approached,  who  gave  their  consent  to 
unite  and  aid  in  the  forming  of  this  Association.  In  the  early 
part  of  December,  Brothers  R.  H.  McDonald  and  Henry  F. 
Williams  gave  their  assent,  which  was  immediately  followed  by 
that  of  Brothers  Otto  Kloppenberg,  Jonathan  Kittredge,  and 
George  Spaulding,  making  nine  in  all  who  united  in  a  tempo- 
rary organization  at  the  Masonic  Temple,  San  Francisco,  on  St. 
John  the  Evangelist's  Day,  Dec.  2yth,  1878  (after  the  installa- 
tion of  officers  of  CALIFORNIA  Lodge  No.  i,  F.  &  A.  M.,  and 
the  Lodge  had  closed),  and  it  to  be  known  as  "THE  MASONIC 
VETERAN  ASSOCIATION  OF  THE  PACIFIC  COAST,"  and  the 
following  brethren  assumed  office  at  the  others'  request  until  a 
permanent  organization  should  be  effected,  namely:  Columbus 
Waterhouse,  President;  Samuel  Swift,  Vice-President;  Edwin 
A.  Sherman,  Secretary;  and  David  W.  Laird,  Treasurer. 

A  Board  of  nine  managers  was  temporarily  chosen,  and  the 
name  of  Past  Grand  Master,  N.  Greene  Curtis,  was  added  to 
the  list,  and  a  circular  was  ordered  to  be  prepared  by  the 
Secretary  to  be  printed  and  distributed  among  the  Lodges 
and  brethren  of  the  craft  throughout  the  Coast.  This  was 
accordingly  done,  and  issued  on  St.  John  the  Evangelist's 
Day,  Dec.  2yth,  1878,  copies  of  which  are  on  file  in  the 
Secretary's  office. 

Immediately  after,  the  following  named  brethren  were 
chosen  by  unanimous  consent  to  become  members  of  this 
Association,  to-wit:  Past  Grand  Master  Isaac  S.  Titus,  Charles 
E.  Blake,  Sr.,  Peter  J.  Evans,  Leopold  Kuh,  and  Alexander 
Burkett. 

A  meeting  was  then  called  for  permanent  organization,  to 
be  held  at  room  266  at  the  Palace  Hotel,  on  Wednesday  even- 
ing, Jan.  8th,  1879,  by  invitation  of  Brother  R.  H.  McDonald, 
who  kindly  tendered  it  for  the  meetings  of  the  Association. 
The  meeting  was  accordingly  held  on  that  date,  at  which  the 
following  members  were  present,  namely:  R.  H.  McDonald, 
Henry  F.  Williams,  Columbus  Waterhouse,  Jonathan  Kit- 
tredge, Isaac  S.  Titus,  Samuel  Swift,  George  Spaulding, 


6  BRIEF  HISTORY  OF  THE 

Charles  E.  Blake,  Sr.,  David  W.  Laird,  Peter  J.  Evans,  Leo- 
pold Kuh,  Otto  Kloppenburg,  Alexander  Burkett,  and  Edwin 
A.  Sherman. 

The  meeting  was  organized  by  Brother  Columbus  Water- 
house,  President,  and  Brother  Edwin  A.  Sherman,  Secretary. 

Brother  James  M.  McDonald  was  present  by  invitation 
and  by  a  unanimous  vote  was  elected  a  member  and  signed 
the  roll. 

On  motion  of  Brother  Henry  F.  Williams,  it  was  unani- 
mously resolved  to  go  into  a  permanent  organization  and  an 
election  of  officers.  The  permanent  organization  was  effected 
and  the  following  named  brethren  were  unanimously  elected 
officers  of  the  Association,  to-wit:  Columbus  Waterhouse, 
President;  Samuel  Swift,  Vice-President,  Edwin  A.  Sherman, 
Secretary;  and  David  W.  Laird,  Treasurer. 

At  this  meeting  Brothers  Charles  E.  Blake,  Sr.,  R.  H. 
McDonald  and  Henry  F.  Williams  were  appointed  a  committee 
to  prepare  a  Constitution  and  By-Laws  for  this  Association,  to 
which  Brother  James  M.  McDonald  was  subsequently  added 
on  account  of  his  brother's  contemplated  absence  from 
the  city. 

At  this  meeting  remarks  of  mutual  congratulation  were 
made  by  all,  upon  the  happy  completion  of  the  permanent 
organization  of  the  Association,  commending  the  objects  for 
which  it  had  been  instituted  and  expressing  their  determina- 
tion to  do  all  in  their  power  to  advance  its  interests  and  secure 
its  success. 

The  next  meeting  was  held  at  the  Palace  Hotel  as  before, 
on  Wednesday,  Jan.  15,  1879.  At  that  meeting  Brothers 
David  Schindler  and  John  C.  Harrington  were  unanimously 
elected  members  of  this  Association.  The  admission  fee 
was  fixed  at  five  dollars,  and  the  Committee  on  Constitution 
and  By-Laws  were  instructed  to  insert  the  same  in  the 
Constitution. 

The  next  meeting  was  held  on  Wednesday  evening,  Jan. 
22d,  at  the  same  hour  and  place  as  before.  The  Committee  on 
Constitution  and  By-Laws  reported  progress.  Petitions  were 
received  from  Brothers  Samuel  Graves,  Wm,  A.  Williams  and 
William  A.  King  for  membership. 

At  this  meeting  the  Secretary  was  directed  to  enter  in  the

records  the  history  of  the  organization  from  the  very  begin- 
ning, giving  a  synopsis  of  all  that  had  been  done  in  founding 
the  MASONIC  VETERAN  ASSOCIATION  OF  THE  PACIFIC  COAST. 
The  next  meeting  was  held  on  Wednesday  evening,  Jan.  29th, 
1879,  at  the  Palace  Hotel  as  before. 

At  this  meeting  the  Committee  on  Constitution  and  By-Laws 
made  their  report,  submitting  the  Constitution  as  the  result  of 
their  labors. 

The  Constitution  was  then  taken  up  and  adopted  in  part, 
and  the  remainder  laid  over  until  the  next  meeting. 

At,  this  meeting  the  Association  was  again  honored  by  the 
presence  of  the  venerable  Brother  and  Father  in  Freemasonry, 
Samuel  Graves,  a  veteran  of  eighty-five  years  of  age  and  a 
Mason  in  good  standing  for  a  period  of  sixty-four  years. 
Brother  Graves  was  by  a  rising  vote  elected  the  FIRST  GRAND 
HONORARY  MEMBER  of  this  Association.  Brother  Samuel 
Swift,  Vice-President,  in  the  chair,  extended  to  him  the 
right  hand  of  fellowship  in  behalf  of  the  Association,  and 
declared  a  recess  of  ten  minutes  that  the  members  might 
extend  their  cordial  welcome  and  greeting  to  one  who  had  for 
more  than  three  score  years  honorably  borne  the  name  and 
upheld  the  character  of  a  true  Free  Mason.  Brother  Graves 
then  returned  thanks  to  the  Association  for  electing  him  to 
honorary  membership  herein  and  being  admitted  to  fellowship 
among  us. 

The  next  meeting  was  held  at  the  Palace  Hotel  as  before, 
on  Wednesday  evening,  Feb.  5th,  1879,  pursuant  to  adjourn- 
ment. At  this  meeting  Past  Grand  Master  Jonathan  Drake 
Stevenson,  the  first  Grand  Master  of  California,  was  elected  a 
Grand  Honorary  Member,  he  being  a  Mason  of  more  thany£/"/j/ 
years'  standing.  •  Past  Grand  Master  Charles  M.  Radcliffe  was 
elected  an  Honorary  Member,  and  Brothers  Wm.  A.  Williams 
and  Wm.  A.  King,  active  members  of  this  Association. 

The  Constitution  was  then  taken  up  as  a  whole  and  unani- 
mously adopted. 

The  Constitution  having  provided  for  an  additional  elective 
officer,  Brother  George  Spaulding  was  unanimously  elected  as 
Marshal  of  the  Association. 

Thus  on  Wednesday  evening,  Feb..  5th,  1879,  the  "MASONIC

RICHARD  HAYES  MCDONALD,  HENRY  FAIRFAX  WILLIAMS 
(the  first  petitioner  for  the  degrees  of  Masonry  in  California 
and  now  the  Most  Venerable  Grand  President),  OTTO  KLOP-

The  following  Declaration  was  adopted,  setting  forth  the 
objects  and  purposes  of  this  Association,  and  was  duly  sub- 
scribed to  by  all  as  follows: 

DECLARATION. 

''Each  brother  must  in  virtue  strive  to  excel — 
7'hat  Brother  lives  twice  who  lives  the  first  life  well." 

We,  the  undersigned,  Master  Masons  in  good  standing  for 
the  period  of  twenty-one  years  and  more,  being  grateful  to  the 
Supreme  Grand  Architect  of  the  Universe,  who  hath  directed 


MASONIC  VETERAN  ASSOCIATION  OF  THE  PACIFIC  COAST.          9 

our  steps  thus  far  along  the  rugged  pathway  of  life  and  bounti- 
fully supplied  us  with  more  than  Craftsmen's  wages  in  the  past, 
and  being  mutually  satisfied  and  in  fraternal  harmony  with 
each  other,  and  desirous  of  forming  a  closer  bond  of  union  and 
fellowship  among  ourselves  and  with  other  elder  '  'Brethren  of 
the  Craft,"  whom  we  may  elect  to  become  united  with  us;  and 
for  the  following  purposes  and  objects,  have  organized  and 
founded  this  Masonic  Veteran  Association. 

"Believing  true  happiness,  if  understood, 
Consists  alone  in  doing  good." 

First.  To  more  earnestly  cultivate  the  moral  and  social 
virtues;  to  maintain  a  higher  and  more  exalted  standard  of 
the  principles  of  true  Freemasonry,  "Brotherly  L,ove,  Relief 
and  Truth;"  to  unite  with  us  those  brethren  who  for  a  period 
of  twenty-one  years  or  more  have  wrought  upon  the  temple, 
on  the  mountains,  and  in  the  quarries,  dispensed  the  charities 
of  the  fraternity  with  unstinted  hands,  who  have  grown  gray 
and  venerable  in  its  service,  and  who  have  maintained  its 
honor  and  dignity  pure  and  unsullied  in  the  long  years  that 
have  passed  away,  whose  escutcheons  have  ever  borne  the 
noble  words: 

"Virtue,  not  rolling  suns,  the  mind  matures, 
That  life  is  long  which  answers  life's  great  end. 
The  time  that  bears  no  fruit  deserves  no  name, 
The  man  of  wisdom  is  the  man  of  years." 

Second,  To  gather  up  and  preserve  the  fragments  of 
Masonic  history  of  personal  reminiscences  and  experiences 
of  the  Pioneer  Masons  of  the  Pacific  Coast,  who  cheered  up 
the  heart  of  the  cholera-smitten  and  weary  immigrant,  and 
tenderly  buried  the  dead  on  the  desert  plain,  and  protected 
his  brother  from  the  murderous  savage;  who  cooled  the 
parched  lips  and  fevered  brow  of  the  fever-smitten  companion 
at  Panama;  who  nursed  the  famished  ones  on  the  ship  that 
floated  in  the  long  and  tedious  voyage  around  the  Horn,  and 
from  the  Rocky  Mountains'  crest  to  the  boundless  Western  sea, 
wherever  the  pioneer  Craftsmen  have  toiled  and  wrought  like 
the  Masonic  knights  of  old,  in  one  hand  the  trowel  borne  and 
the  other  grasping  a  weapon,  and  who  have  left  behind  them  if 


io  BRIEF  HISTORY  OF  THE 

not  everywhere  a  temple,  at  least  a  tabernacle  for  the  wander- 
ing Mason's  temporary  home.     With  the  inscription: 

"All  true  glory  rests;  all  praise,  all  safety, 
All  happiness,  upon  the  Moral  and  Masonic  Law." 

That  as  the  pioneer  Masons  on  this  Coast  are  rapidly  pass- 
ing away,  their  glorious  history  of  the  past  exists  only  in  the 
memories  of  those  who  still  remain,  it  is  our  object  to  bind 
ourselves  still  closer  as  brethren,  and  aid  each  other  as  we 
descend  the  hill  of  life;  and  to  gather  up  so  far  as  possible  to 
do  so,  while  there  is  an  opportunity,  all  that  is  worthy  of 
preservation,  that  pioneer  Masonic  history  of  the  Pacific  Coast 
may  not  be  altogether  lost. 

Third.  To  secure  by  bequest,  donation,  gift,  or  otherwise, 
lands,  moneys,  or  material,  for  the  purpose  of  establishing  a 
Mason's  Home  for  superannuated  brethren,  and  for  the  widows 
and  orphans  of  our  deceased  brethren,  who  have  left  these 
wards  behind  them  to  our  fraternal  care  and  protection. 

Fourth.  To  foster  a  more  fraternal  spirit  of  veneration  and 
regard  towards  our  honorable  aged  brethren,  among  the 
younger  members  of  the  fraternity  as  well  as  ourselves,  to 
show  a  proper  appreciation  of  their  worth  while  living,  and  to 
pay  a  just  tribute  of  esteem  and  affection  to  their  virtues  and 
memories  when  they  shall  be  called  from  labor  on  earth  to 
refreshment  in  the  Celestial  Grand  Lodge  above. 

And  for  the  establishing,  maintenance  and  perpetuity  of 
this  Association,  we  mutually  pledge  to  each  other  our  hands, 
our  hearts,  and  our  sacred  Masonic  honor. 

"Brotherly  L,ove  has  a  power 
To  soothe  affliction  in  her  darkest  hour." 

In  testimony  whereof,  we  the  undersigned,  Master  Masons 
in  good  standing  for  the  period  of  twenty-one  years  and  more, 
assembled  in  the  room  of  our  Brother  R.  H.  McDonald,  room 
No.  226,  fourth  floor  of  the  Palace  Hotel,  San  Francisco,  Cal., 
have  adopted  the  following  Constitution  and  By-Laws  for  the 
government  of  this  "MASONIC  VETERAN  ASSOCIATION  of  the 
PACIFIC  COAST,"  and  have  hereunto  set  our  hands  and  sub- 
scribed our  names  this  fifth  day  of  February,  A.  D.  1879.

liams; *23,  William  Andrew  King. 

The  Constitution  having  been  so  frequently  amended  to 
meet  the  exigencies  and  changed  conditions  of  the  times,  that 
it  bears  but  little  resemblance  to  the  original;  and  we  have 
had  to  "live  and  learn,"  and  adapt  our  methods  as  practical 
experience  has  rendered  the  same  necessary,  and  the  Constitu- 
tion and  By-Laws  as  now  govern  the  Association  will  be  found 
complete  under  its  proper  head.  These  changes  have  been 
rendered  necessary  on  account  of  its  expansion  and  growth, 
and  its  Grand  Jurisdiction  being  so  wide  and  extensive  as  to 
embrace  all  the  territory  whose  waters  flow  into  the  Pacific 
Ocean  from  Alaska  to  the  Isthmus  of  Panama,  embracing  the 
following  States  and  Territories  and  Countries:  California, 
Oregon,  Washington,  Nevada,  Idaho,  Colorado,  Montana, 
Wyoming,  Utah,  Arizona,  New  Mexico,  Alaska,  Hawaiian 
Isla'nds,  Philippines,  Mexico,  Central  America  and  British 
Columbia. 

While  it  is  an  extensive  territorial  jurisdiction,  yet  it  does 
not  contain  more  than  two-thirds  as  many  Masons  as  the 
single  State  of  New  York,  which  has  98,180  Master  Masons  on 
its  roll,  and  where  the  proportion  of  older  Masons,  by  reason 
of  the  stability  of  population,  is  relatively  greater.  That 
embraced  within  this  jurisdiction  is  more  nomadic  and  float- 
ing, with  constant  changes  of  residence,  which  mixes  up  the 
entire  fraternity;  a  large  portion  of  the  Craft  being  engaged  in 
mining,  from  the  Rocky  Mountains  to  the  Sierra  Nevada  and 
Cascade  Ranges,  and  from  the  Isthmus  of  Panama  and  beyond 
to  the  South,  to  the  Klondike  and  Alaska  on  the  north.  Its 
members  are  bound  volumes  of  history  within  themselves, 
and  are  neither  sheep  or  calf,  and  the  Association  is  a  circu- 
lating library  among  the  Craft,  while  from  the  lips  of  its  aged

12  BRIEF  HISTORY  OF  THE 

Brethren,  wisdom  and  knowledge  may  be  gathered  by  those 
who  listen  and  learn.  . 

Its  badge  is  a  mark  of  honor  and  faithful  service  which  has 
been  duly  recognized,  and  he  who  travels  and  is  rightfully 
eatitled  to  wear  it  upon  his  breast,  will  never  be  mistaken  for 
a  "fraud;"  and  if  one  ever  should  become  an  applicant  for 
temporary  relief,  he  will  nearly  always  be  found  genuine.  In 
the  visitation  to  Lodges,  its  members  everywhere  receive  that 
due  fraternal  attention  and  courtesy  which  their  merits 
deserve,  and  where  the  work  of  the  Master  and  officers  of  a 
Lodge  is  well  performed,  which  they  have  been  invited  to 
witness,  just  praise  and  commendation  is  given  by  these  veter- 
ans of  the  Craft,  who  are  qualified  to  judge.  Our  duties  to 
the  sick,  to  the  memory  of  the  dead,  and  charity  to  the  living 
are  never  neglected,  while  a  vast  amount  of  good  is  done  by 
its  members  in  their  own  unostentations  manner,  and  in 
nowise  interfering  with  the  designs  drawn  upon  the  trestle 
boards  of  the  Master  and  Wardens  who  carry  forward  the  work 
entrusted  to  their  charge. 

Its  material  is  of  the  very  best  in  the  land,  from  the  hum- 
blest Brother  who  toils  with  his  hands,  to  the  most  eminent 
and  distinguished  statesmen,  jurists,  professional  men,  manu- 
facturers and  merchants,  officers  and  men  in  various  capacities 
in  the  United  States  Army  and  Navy,  who  are  all  upon  the 
Masonic  level  and  borne  upon  the  rolls  of  the  Craftsmen  of 
the  various  Grand  Lodge  Jurisdictions  embraced  within  the 
Grand  Jurisdiction  of  the  MASONIC  VETERAN  ASSOCIATION 
OF  THE  PACIFIC  COAST.  No  grander  body  of  men  and  Masons 
exists  upon  the  face  of  the  earth,  than  our  "Stiver  Grays," 
our  beloved  brethren  of  this  Association.  Its  mighty  topo- 
graphical trestle-board  corrugated  with  mountains  and  valleys, 
with  thousands  of  Masters  and  Craftsmen  working  out  the 
designs  of  the  Grand  Architect  of  the  Universe  upon  it,  fur- 
nishes the  plans  of  a  stupendous  Masonic  Temple,  where 
hundreds  of  thousands  of  the  "Brethren  of  the  Mystic  Tie" 
can  live,  labor,  love,  and  dwell  in  the  Golden  Empire  of 
Fraternity  on  the  western  slope  of  the  American  Continent. 

There  are  now  upon  its  roll  nearly  1,000  living  of  Active  and 
Honorary  members,  of  whom  one-fourth  are  Grand  and  Past 
Grand  Masters,  all  but  seven  of  whom  are  within  its  territorial

jurisdiction.  Not  less  than  150  of  its  Active  members  have 
been  added  to  it  from  the  beginning,  whose  admission  fees  have 
been  paid  by  the  R.  V.  Grand  Secretary  out  of  his  salary,  and 
he  is  the  sole  creditor  of  the  Association.  It  may  here  be 
mentioned  that  he  assisted  in  the  temporary  organization  of 
the  National  Masonic  Veteran  Association  of  the  United  States 
at  Washington,  D.  C.,  in  October,  1889,  and  was  elected  Vice- 
President  for  the  Pacific  Coast.  He  drafted  its  Constitution, 
and  under  it  was  elected  National  President  at  the  First  Trien- 
nial Meeting  held  at  Denver,  Colorado,  in  August,  1892,  and 
presided  over  the  deliberation  of  that  body  at  its  second  Trien- 
nial Meeting,  held  at  Boston,  Mass.,  in  August,  1895,  after 
which  he  was  elected  Grand  Marshal  of  that  body.

tion of  Mullnomah  Lodge  No.  i,  at  Oregon  City,  Oregon,  on 
Sept.  ii,  1896  (the  first  Masonic  Lodge  on  the  Pacific  Coast), 
of  Western  Star  Lodge  No.  2,  at  Shasta,  California,  in  October 

1898  (both  chartered  by  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Missouri),  Cali- 
fornia   Lodge  No.   i,  at  San    Francisco,  on  November  iyth, 

1899  (chartered  as  No.  13  by  the  Grand  Lodge  of  the  District 
of  Columbia),  Tehama  Lodge  No.  3,  at  Sacramento,  Cal.,  on 
January  8th,  1900  (chartered  as  Connecticut  Lodge  No.  75  by 
the'Grand  Lodge  of  Connecticut),  and  Benitia  Lodge  No.  5,  at 
Benicia,  Cal.,  on  March  8,  1900  (organized  as  Pacific  Lodge,  a 
traveling   Lodge,  under  Dispensation  from  the  Grand  Master 
of  Louisiana)  celebrated  these  joyous  events  with  fervency  and 
zeal  worthy  of  the  Craft,  and  in  honor  to  their  founders,  the 
M.   V.   Grand   President    and    other   officers  of  this  Masonic 
Veteran  Association  being  present,  including  the  R.  V.  Grand 
Secretary,    who   also   delivered   congratulatory   addresses   on 
three  of  the  above  occasions. 

It  may  here  be  stated  that  our  Most  Venerable  Grand 
President,  HENRY  FAIRFAX  WILLIAMS,  was  the  first  peti- 
tioner for  the  degrees  of  Masonry  in  California,  in  California 
Lodge  No.  i,  came  on  the  first  steamer  to  enter  the  Golden 
Gate,  the  California,  February  28,  1849,  that  brought  the 
original  charter  of  that  Lodge.  He  being  elected  December 
20,  1849,  and  made  all  the  working  tools  of  that  Lodge  and 
furnished  the  Bible  upon  which  he  was  obligated.  The  father 


14  BRIEF  HISTORY  OF  THE 

of  five  boys  and  five  girls  who,  with  their  mother,  are  all  living 
and  doing  well. 

By  reason  of  the  large  appropriations  for  the  maintenance 
and  support  of  the  Masonic  Widows  and  Orphans'  Home,  the 
Grand  Lodge  of  California  did  not  deem  it  expedient  to 
expend  any  moneys  for  the  celebration  of  its  own  Golden 
Jubilee,  which  occurred  on  April  iQth,  1900,  and  it  was  post- 
poned to  the  centennial.  Nevertheless  it  was  commemorated 
by  this  Masonic  Veteran  Association  by  a  fraternal  visit  to 
California  Lodge  No.  i,  of  which  our  M.  V.  Grand  President 
had  been  its  worshipful  Master  also. 

Near  the  close  of  the  year  1900,  and  of  the  igth  century, 
Tuolumne  Lodge,  No.  8,  at  Sonora,  Cal.;  Corinthian  Lodge, 
No.  9,  at  Marysville,  Cal.;  San  Jose  Lodge,  No.  10,  at  San 
Jose,  Cal.;  and  Willamette  Lodge,  No.  n  (now  No.  2),  at 
Portland,  Ore.,  all  chartered  by  the  Grand  Lodge  of  California 
on  November  ayth,  1850,  have  celebrated  in  a  proper  manner 
their  Golden  Jubilee  on  November  27th,  1900,  at  which  this 
Masonic  Veteran  Association  was  duly  represented.  And 
thus  has  begun  a  never-ending  round  of  jubilees  of  Masonic 
Lodges,  which  will  continue  as  long  as  Old  Father  Time  finds 
pleasure  and  occupation  in  unwinding  the  ringlets  and  count- 
ing the  perennial  growth  of  hair  on  the  head  of  the  Youthful 
Virgin  who  stands  by  the  broken  column  and  keeps  the  record 
of  their  work. 

There  are  Masonic  Veteran  Associations  now  in  Maine, 
New  Hampshire,  Vermont,  Rhode  Island,  Connecticut,  New 
York,  Pennsylvania,  Maryland,  Ohio,  Indiana,  Michigan,  Illi- 
nois, Wisconsin,  Kentucky,  Tennessee,  Louisiana,  and  Geor- 
gia, east  of  the  Mississippi  River;  in  Minnesota,  Iowa,  Mis- 
souri, Nebraska,  Kansas,  and  Texas,  west  of  the  Mississippi 
River,  and  next  to  our  own  Grand  Jurisdiction  of  California, 
Oregon,  Washington,  Nevada,  Idaho,  Utah,  Montana,  Wyo- 
ming, Colorado,  Arizona,  New  Mexico,  Alaska,  Mexico,  Cen- 
tral America,  British  Columbia,  Hawaiian  Islands,  Guam,  and 
the  Philippines.  Besides  these,  there  is  the  Asociacion  de 
Veteranos  Masones  de  la  Isla  de  Cuba,  organized  May  28th, 
1893,  in  Havana,  broken  up,  as  all  Masonic  Bodies  were  and 
Masonry  stamped  out,  by  the  Spanish  Army  during  the  late 
Spanish  Cuban  War,  but  since  restored  by  the  occupation  of

the  American  forces,  and  of  which  M.  W.  George  C.  Perkins, 
P.  G.  M.,  our  former  M.  V.  Grand  President,  and  the  R.  V. 
Grand  Secretary,  are  honorary  members,  as  the  latter  is  also 
of  many  others.  A  Masonic  Veteran  Association  has  recently 
been  formed  in  England,  and  there  are  others  whose  data  has 
not  yet  come  to  hand. 

The  R.  V.  Grand  Secretary,  the  originator  and  one  of  the 
founders  of  the  MASONIC  VETERAN  ASSOCIATION  OF  THE  PA- 
CIFIC COAST,  has  filled  that  office  from  the  very  beginning,  a 
period  of  twenty-two  years.  Of  the  twenty-two  other  found- 
ers of  the  Association,  he  has  seen  sixteen  pass  away,  and  two 
drop  by  the  wayside,  leaving  only  four  others  besides  himself 
who  brought  the  Association  into  being — Past  M.  V.  Grand 
Presidents  SAMUEL  SWIFT,  JAMES  M.  MCDONALD,  HENRY 
FAIRFAX  WILLIAMS  (still  in  office),  and  RICHARD  HAYES 
MCDONALD  and  himself,  still  belonging  to  it. 

THE   OBJECTS   OF  THE  MASONIC  VETERAN  ASSO- 
CIATION OF  THE  PACIFIC  COAST. 

It  is  frequently  asked  by  some  who  are  disposed  to  cavil  and 
object  to  it,  "What  are  the  benefits  of  this  Organization?"  as 
if  it  were  a  sort  of  health  or  life  insurance  concern,  not  for  a 
moment  considering  whether  they  can  be  of  any  service  or 
render  any  good  to  such  an  organization,  composed  of  the 
best  portion  of  the  Fraternity,  who  have  already  spent  at  least 
the  life  of  a  generation  in  the  cause  of  Freemasonry.  To 
such,  after  an  experience  of  twenty-two  years,  we  have  neither 
the  time  or  the  disposition  to  explain,  or  attempt  to  enlighten. 
It  would  be  idle  and  foolish  to  endeavor  to  plate  lead  with 
gold,  for  it  could  not  be  made  either  useful  or  ornamental. 
They,  and  all  of  us,  declared  in  our  petitions,  "that  we  were 
unbiased  by  friends  and  uninfluenced  by  mercenary  motives, 
and  freely  offered  ourselves  as  candidates  for  the  mysteries  of 
Masonry;  that  we  were  prompted  to  solicit  this  privilege  by  a 
favorable  opinion  conceived  of  the  Institution,  a  desire  for 
knowledge,  and  a  sincere  wish  to  be  serviceable  to  our  fellow- 
creatures"  etc.,  and  which  this  Masonic  Veteran  Association, 
as  its  base,  has  rigidly  and  unalterably  adhered  to.  Some  few 
others  have  forgotten  or  abandoned  their  base,  and  are  no

longer  borne  upon  its  rolls.  These  are  somewhat  like  Pat, 
who  was  bothered  about  the  subject  of  a  miracle.  He  was 
rather  thick-headed  and  stupid,  and  went  to  his  priest  to  in- 
quire, and  said,  "Father  Kerrigan,  I  would  like  to  have  you 
exshplain  to  me  phwat  is  a  miracle?"  Father  Kerrigan  tried 
his  best  to  define  and  describe  a  miracle  to  him,  but  all  in 
vain.  Losing  patience  with  Pat,  he  turned  him  around,  facing 
from  him,  and  administered  a  severe  kick  in  Pat's  rear,  and 
asked  Pat,  "Did  yez  fale'that,  Patrick?"  "Faith  and  I  did," 
said  Pat.  "Well,  thin,"  said  the  priest,  "it  wud  have  bin  a 
miracle  if  ye  hadn't!" 

For  our  own  satisfaction,  let  us  see  what  it  has  accomplished 
during  the  twenty-two  years  of  its  existence: 

ist. — It  has,  from  a  small  beginning,  become  a  powerful  and 
influential  institution  for  good,  and  commanding  the  esteem 
and  veneration  of  the  Craft,  not  only  in  our  own  country,  but 
throughout  the  world,  and  set  the  bright  example  for  many 
other  Masonic  Veteran  Associations  to  follow. 

2d. — It  has  gathered  up  the  biographies  of  its  members, 
with  their  complete  Masonic  records  of  those  who  crossed  the 
deserts  and  mountains,  and  braved  the  hardships  and  perils 
of  the  seas,  to  reclaim  a  land  from  savage  barbarism  and  soli- 
tude and  convert  it  into  abodes  of  civilization  with  the  devel- 
opment and  production  of  the  treasures  of  the  earth.  These 
records,  preserved  in  its  archives  and  engrossed  upon  its 
Certificates  of  membership  which  adorn  hundreds  of  Lodges 
and  homes,  bear  testimony  of  its  usefulness,  and  having  saved 
and  preserved  from  being  lost  the  histories  of  the  lives  of 
brethren  who  have  been  an  honor  to  the  Craft,  to  their  coun- 
try, and  mankind.  They  served  as  the  principal  material  of 
the  "HISTORY  OF  FIFTY  YEARS  OF  MASONRY  IN  CAU- 
FORNIA,"  of  which  the  R.  V.  Grand  Secretary  hereof  was 
the  Bditor,  and  many  of  whose  portraits  and  biographic 
sketches  and  Masonic  records  adorn  that  work. 

jd.  —  It  has  and  will  have  celebrated  and  commemorated  the 
anniversaries  and  Golden  Jubilees  of  Grand  and  Subordinate 
Lodges  throughout  its  Jurisdiction,  and  furnished  the  Corn, 
wine,  and  oil,  the  products  of  California,  to  Grand  Lodges  in 
the  laying  of  Corner-stones  and  dedications  of  Masonic  Temples 
and  State  Capitols  and  other  public  buildings,  not  only  in  our

own  Jurisdiction,  but  beyond  the  Rocky  Mountains,  along  the 
Atlantic  shores,  and  by  the  banks  of  the  Great  River,  the 
"Father  of  Waters,"  which  now  "unvexed"  pours  its  im- 
mense volume  into  the  Gulf. 

j.th. — It  has  cooperated  with  other  Bodies  of  Masonry,  in 
extending  sympathy  to  our  oppressed  brethren  in  other  lands, 
and  received  their  grateful  acknowledgments  for  our  fraternal 
words  of  comfort  and  cheer.  While  participating  in  the  "Re- 
ception of  the  Heart"  of  our  murdered  and  martyred  Brother, 
ex  Governor  YGNACIO  HERRERA  Y  CAIRO,  and  its  final 
deposit  beneath  the  "Foundation  Stone"  laid  by  our  Past 
Most  Venerable  Grand  President,  and  Past  Grand  Master, 
HIRAM  NEWTON  RUCKER,  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  California, 
upon  which  in  due  time  a  monument  is  to  be  erected  and 
dedicated  to  one  who  laid  down  his  life  for  Liberty  and  Ma- 
sonry "rather  than  forfeit  his  integrity,"  this  Association 
has  become  identified  with  one  of  the  noblest  Masonic  objects, 
second  only  in  the  history  and  traditions  of  the  Craft,  to  that 
of  the  Master  Builder  of  the  Temple  of  Solomon,  and  which, 
for  all  time,  will  be  treasured  as  the  noblest  example  of  Ma- 
sonic fidelity  and  integrity,  since  the  erection  and  dedication 
of  the  mighty  edifice  upon  Mt.  Moriah  at  the  Holy  City  of 
Jerusalem. 

$th. — More  than  any  other  Masonic  Organization  in  propor- 
tion to  its  numbers,  it  has  been  represented  in  goodly  attend- 
ance at  the  funerals  of  our  deceased  Brethren,  and  in  showing 
respect  to  the  memory  of  those  who  deservedly  and  rightfully 
were  entitled  to  receive  the  last  sad  tribute  of  fraternal  af- 
fection. 

6th. — It  has  unostentatiously  and  without  interfering  in  any 
manner  with  the  rights  or  the  prerogatives  of  the  Masters,  or 
in  the  relief  work  of  Lodges,  aided  Brethren  along  the  rugged 
pathway  of  life  in  bettering  their  condition;  helped  to  secure 
positions  for  those  honestly  seeking  to  earn  their  bread;  given 
aid,  encouragement,  and  advice  to  the  sons  and  daughters  of 
those  of  the  "Household  of  the  Faithful,"  afforded  them 
facilities  for  earning  a  livelihood,  and,  in  advance,  procured 
for  them  protection  and  kindly  aid  from  the  Brethren  of  the 
Craft,  who  have  ever  been  responsive  to  our  requests  to  give, 
them  courteous  and  fraternal  attention;  and  for  which  :we 


1 8  BRIEF  HISTORY  OF  THE 

have  received  the  heartfelt  gratitude  of  the  sons  and  daughters 
of  our  Masonic  Brethren. 

jth. — It  has  furnished  Letters  of  Credence  and  Introduction 
to  Brethren  that  are  worthy,  when  desiring  to  travel,  facili- 
tated their  introduction  and  examination  when  visiting  other 
Masonic  Bodies,  and,  in  this  respect,  its  usefulness  has  been 
felt,  and  continues  to  be  felt,  around  the  Globe. 

8th. — It  has  frequently,  by  invitation  of  their  Masters,  vis- 
isited  the  Lodges,  witnessed  their  work,  giving  due  enco- 
miums of  praise  when  deserved,  and  in  a  testimonial  manner; 
while  it  has  been  received  with  honors,  and  its  members  treated 
in  the  most  hospitable,  distinguished,  and  courteous  man- 
ner possible;  and  at  the  tables  of  refreshment,  received  the 
highest  honors,  which  have  been  most  gratefully  accepted  by 
the  "SiLVKR  GRAYS"  of  this  Association. 

yth. — It  has,  for  many  years,  held  its  Annual  Grand  Lodge 
of  Sorrow,  with  appropriate  ceremonies  and  exercises,  in 
honor  of  the  memory  of  our  departed  Brethren,  where  the 
most  eloquent,  tender,  pathetic  eulogies  have  been  pronounced 
by  the  most  able  and  distinguished  members  of  our  Heaven 
Kndowed  Fraternity,  and  which  have  been  embellished  by 
exquisite  music  and  sweetest  plaintive  song. 

loth. — Its  badge  or  jewel,  whether  worn  by  an  active  or  an 
Honorary  Member  in  attending  work  in  Lodge,  at  banquets, 
or  funerals,  and  to  its  wearer,  is  manifested  especial  fraternal 
respect.  It  is  the  mark  of  a  well-spent  Masonic  life.  It  in- 
dicates that  the  wearer  has  earned  it  by  faithful  labor  and 
service,  and  has  been  deemed  worthy  and  entitled  to  it  as  a 
reward  of  merit,  for  duties  well  and  faithfully  performed.  It 
is  now  worn  upon  the  breasts  of  its  members  in  many  places 
beyond  our  Jurisdiction  in  our  own  land  and  in  foreign  coun- 
tries, and  has  made  the  circuit  of  the  Globe. 

There  are  many  other  things  which  might  be  mentioned  in 
connection  with  the  usefulness  of  the  Masonic  Veteran  Asso- 
ciation of  the  Pacific  Coast  and  the  broad  field  in  which  it 
labors,  without  interfering  with  the  other  workmen  of  the 
Craft. 

There  is  no  place  for  a  dull-headed,  shrivel-hearted,  preten- 
tious sham,  or  a  mean,  selfish  man,  in  it.  "The  liberal  soul 
shall  be  made  fat;  and  he  that  watereth  others,  shall  also  be

watered  himself,"  said  King  Solomon.  Nowhere  in  the 
Great  Light  do  we  find  any  murmuring  or  complaint  of  the 
extravagance  of  Aaron  when  he  had  about  three  gallons  of 
ointment  to  pomade  his  beard  with;  but  it  is  held  up  as  a 
sample,  with  its  perfume  and  spices  of  myrrh,  cinnamon,  and 
sweet  calamus,  as  a  symbol  to  us  as  Masons  and  Brethren  to 
dwell  together  in  unity,  and  as  being  good  and  very  pleasant. 
The  only  man  who  ever  did  complain  of  extravagance  of  this 
nature,  was  the  wretch  Judas  Iscariot,  who  sold  his  brother 
and  betrayed  his  Master  (which  all  honorable  men,  Hebrew 
and  Christian  alike,  condemn),  not  that  he  cared  that  Mary's 
hair  oil,  perfumed  with  costly  spikenard,  should  be  sold  for 
Charity,  "but  that  he  himself  carried  the  bag."  He,  how- 
ever, made  good  use]  of  the  cable  tow  when  he  went  and 
hanged  himself,  and  suspended  further  operations  on  his  de- 
spicable line,  and  an  example  that  should  be  followed  by  all 
who  would  be  intentionally  false  to  their  obligations  and  be- 
tray the  Craft. 

Fraternally  yours, 

EDWIN  A.  SHERMAN,  33°, 

Right  VenerableJ^Grand  Secretary  of  the  Masonic  Veteran

SEC.  2.  Any  Active  Member  who  shall  be  one  year  in  arrears  for  his 
annual  dues,  shall  not  have  the  right  to  vote,  or  be  eligible  to  hold  office. 

SEC.  3.  Any  Active  Member  who  shall  state  upon  his  Masonic  honor 
in  writing  or  verbally  to  the  R.  V.  Grand  Secretary  that  he  is  unable 
to  pay  either  a  part  or  the  whole  of  his  delinquency,  shall  have  the  same 
remitted,  without  humiliation,  before  the  Association,  of  his  financial 
disability;  and  if  he  be  of  advanced  age,  and  reduced  in  circumstances, 
he  shall  be  further  exempt  from  the  payment  of  dues,  and  placed  on  the 
Honorary  Life  Roll,  as  one  who  has  faithfully  performed  his  Masonic 
duties,  and  is  entitled  to  the  fraternal  consideration  of  his  Brethren  on 
the  level. 

SEC.  4.  No  demit  shall  be  granted  to  any  Active  Member  excepting 
for  the  purpose  of  uniting  with  some  other  Masonic  Veteran  Association 
of  another  Jurisdiction,  in  which  he  has  already  been  elected  to  become  a 
member,  as  is  the  rule  in  some  Grand  Lodge  Jurisdictions.  The  shade 
of  the  acacia  tree  being  too  near,  as  all  experience  hath  shown,  for  this 
Association  to  permit  its  silver  cord  which  makes  the  "Mystic  Tie"  to  be 
loosened  too  near  the  gate  of  entrance  of  the  "Celestial  Grand  Lodge" 
above,  where  the  Supreme  Grand  Master  forever  presides. 

SEC.  5.  The  suspension  or  expulsion  of  any  member  of  this  Associa- 
tion from  the  rights  and  privileges  of  Masonry  by  any  subordinate 
Lodge  shall  also  deprive  him  of  the  honors,  rights  and  privileges  herein. 
But  suspension  or  expulsion  for  un-Masonic  conduct  in  any  body  of 
Masonry,  though  afterwards  restored  by  a  Grand  Body,  shall  not  restore 
such  member  to  his  former  standing  herein,  unless  by  the  unanimous 
consent  of  this  Association  at  its  Annual  Meeting. 

SEC.  6.  This  Association  shall  exercise  the  right  to  discipline  its  own 
members  and  take  such  action  as  may  be  deemed  necessary  whenever 
the  occasion  may  demand  it,  for  severing  connection  with  the  unworthy 
who  may  unfortunately  be  admitted  within  it.

bers while  they  are  honorary  members  solely;  but  if  they  become  active

SEC.  2.  The  petition  shall  be  referred  to  a  committee  for  investiga-

rejected  without  a  ballot.  It  shall  require  one  black  ball  to  reject. 

SEC.  3.  Where  the  petitioner  is  well  known,  however,  to  be  a  worthy 
Brother  of  the  strictest  integrity,  by  unanimous  consent  Sec.  2  of  this 
Article  may  be  temporarily  suspended,  and  he  declared  duly  elected  to 
become  an  Active  Member  by  acclamation. 

SEC.  4.  An  Honorary  Member  may  be  transferred  to  the  Active 
List  simply  by  his  request  and  paying  the  admission  fee,  he  being

an  Honorary  Member.

SECTION  i.  The  Annual  Meeting  of  this  Masonic  Veteran  Associa- 
tion shall  be  held  on  the  First  Thursday  following  the  Second  Tuesday  in 
October  of  each  year,  during  the  Annual  Communications  of  the  Grand 
Lodge  of  California. 

SEC.  2.  All  other  meetings  held  shall  be  Special  Meetings,  called  by 
the  M.  V.  Grand  President,  or  the  Association  through  the  R.  V.  Grand 
Secretary,  in  cases  of  business  emergency,  to  visit  Lodges,  or  atttend 
funerals  of  deceased  members,  as  the  Association  may  require.  Petitions 
may  be  acted  upon  and  new  members  elected  at  any  meeting  of  the 
Association,  and  five  Active  Members  shall  form  a  quorum. 

SEC.  3.  Special  Meetings  may  be  called  by  any  Right  Venerable 
Grand  Vice-Presinent  within  his  own  Grand  Lodge  Jurisdiction  (other 
than  that  of  California)  for  the  purpose  of  receiving  and  acting  upon 
petitions,  by  recommendation,  for  the  election  of  new  members;  to 
attend  Lodges  at  the  invitation  of  their  Worshipful  Masters;  to  attend 
the  funerals  of  deceased  members;  and  to  propose  such  measures  as  may 
be  deemed  for  the  best  interests  of  this  Association:  Provided  that  there 
shall  not  be  less  than  twenty-seven  Active  Members  in  such  locality, 
each  of  whom  shall  be  previously  notified  of  such  meeting,  and  there  shall 
be  a  quorum  of  not  less  than  five  Active  Members  present;  and  provided 
further,  that  at  such  meeting  no  debt  shall  be  contracted  against  this 
Association.

special  meetings  shall  be  void  and  of  no  effect. 

SEC.  4.  The  Masonic  Veteran  Association  of  the  Pacific  Coast  being

advanced  age  of  Veteran  Masons,  many  of  whom  are  feeble  in  health, 
impoverished  in  means,  and  unable  to  pay  dues  or  attend  meetings,  and 
a  greater  death  rate  than  any  other  class  or  body  of  Masons,  requires  that 
the  jurisdiction  of  the  Masonic  Veteran  Association  of  the  Pacific  Coast 
shall  be  jealously  guarded  and  held  intact  until  there  are  greater  num- 
bers of  Master  Masons  from  which  to  recruit  its  members,  and  of  which 
it  shall  be  its  own  judge. 

Every  meeting,  whenever  and  wherever  held,  in  any  State,  County 
City  or  Town  within  its  jurisdiction,  held  by  its  members  when  duly 
called  and  assembled,  shall  be  a  meeting  of  this  Masonic  Veteran  Asso- 


MASONIC  VETERAN  ASSOCIATION  OF  THE  PACIFIC  COAST.          27 

ciatiou.  The  Right  Venerable  Grand  Vice-Presidents  for  their  respective 
States  shall  be  ex-officio  Acting  Most  Venerable  Grand  President  pro 
tern,  aud  be  respected  and  obeyed  accordingly.  They  shall  appoint  the 
other  acting  officers,  pro  tern,  at  any  meeting  of  this  Association  that 
they  may  hold. 

SEC.  5.  In  any  locality  where  there  are  five  Active  Members  of  this 
Association  resident,  they  shall  have  the  right  to  convene,  choose  a  pre- 
siding officer  pro  ieni,  where  none  has  been  appointed  by  the  M.  V. 
Grand  President,  and  elect  members  in  their  own  locality  and  vicinity 
in  accordance  with  this  Constitution,  making  due  return  of  the  action 
and  minutes  of  the  same  to  the  R.  V.  Grand  Secretary,  that  the  same 
may  be  presented,  approved,  ratified,  and  entered  in  the  records  of  this 
Association.  Any  Active  or  Honorary  member  of  The  Masonic  Veteran 
Association  of  the  Pacific  Coast,  who  shall  be  present  at  and  participate 
in  any  independent  sectional  o'r  local  organization  of  Veteran  Masons 
within  its  jurisdiction,  shall  be  dropped  as  dishonored  from  the  rolls  and 
in  nowise  thereafter  be  restored. 

SEC.  5.  The  Annual  Memorial  Meeting  or  Lodge  of  Sorrow,  shall  be

convenient)  immediately  prior  to  the  Twenty-Fifth  day  of  December  of 
each  year,  in  honor  of  the  deceased  members  who  may  have  died  during 
the  past  year,  at  which  appropriate  ceremonies  shall  be  held  and 
eulogies  delivered:  provided  that  the  funds  will  warrant  it,  and  a  suitable 
hall  or  place  can  be  obtained. 

ARTICLE   IX. 

FUNERAI3. 

SEC.  i.  Immediately  upon  learning  of  the  death  of  a  member  of  this 
Association,  in  San  Francisco  or  vicinity,  the  R.  V.  Grand  Secretary 
shall  notify  the  members  (by  advertising  the  same  in  the  public  press,  or 
through  the  mails)  within  the  jurisdiction  of  the  Lodge  of  which  the 
deceased  was  a  member,  or  has  charge  of  the  funeral.  The  members  of 
this  Association  shall  attend  the  funeral  in  a  body  or  be  represented  by  a 
delegation  of  the  same,  and  take  such  place  as  may  be  assigned  them  by 
the  Marshal  under  the  direction  of  the  Master  of  the  Lodge  (properly 
next  to  the  Past  Masters)  who  may  conduct  the  ceremonies.  And 
it  shall  be  the  imperative  duty  of  each  and  every  member  of  this 
Association  .to  attend  the  funerals  of  its  deceased  members,  unless 
excused  by  the  President,  and  only  extreme  cases  of  business  emerg- 
encies, sickness,  absence  at  a  distance,  or  other  reasonabie  cause  shall 
be  deemed  a  valid  excuse  for  non-attendance  and  failure  to  pay  the  last 
sad  duty  to  the  memories  of  our  deceased  brother  members. 

SEC.  2.  In  other  localities  than  San  Francisco,  it  shall  be  the  duty 
of  every  member  there  resident,  to  attend  the  funeral  of  a  deceased 
member  who  may  die  in  their  vicinity,  and  to  immediately  report  the 
death  of  the  same  to  the  R.  V.  Grand  Secretary,  and  to  act  as  Commit- 
tees representing  this  Association.
